& This Is How We Do Fat Tuesday


So this, this is how we do Fat Tuesday.  Well rewind. First, three other friends and I were lucky enough to all have the same day off yesterday! So we had to properly celebrate starting with brunch at Bob Evans. I got the farm fresh omelet made with egg lites and a side of turkey sausage links. It was so good! Filling too, I couldn’t even finish the omelet. Next we all went to the gym and worked on legs and shoulders. My buns are a bit sore to say the least. Ha ;) I sat in the sauna for a little after the workout which I don’t normally do but I think I might more often. It was a nice extra dose of sweat.

Once we finished at the gym we got cleaned up and ran a couple of errands to Finish Line and Fossil(two of my favoritest stores <3). The last stop on the way home to make dinner was at the grocery to exchange gluten free bread for gluten free hamburger buns. There was some confusion with the original grocery shopper.. hehe. I’ve got to say though, my friends have been SO accommodating to my dietary restrictions. Especially for being boys. Normally it's only girls who cater to needs like that and boys are the ones dumbfound. No offense boys. They go above and beyond to make sure that I can always have what they are having in gluten free form. It seems like a little gesture but I can’t even begin to explain how appreciative I am. It’s so very thoughtful J

We finally got home and fired up the grill to make burgers. The weather was fairly nice yesterday and the sun was shining to what better to do than grill? Exactly. With our burgers we had baked sweet potato fries and mac n’ cheese. Gluten free variations were and Udi’s GF hamburger bun instead of regular and Annie’s Rice and Cheese pasta instead of the Velveeta. The guys tried the macaroni and bun and said they weren’t so bad! The macaroni really does taste just like regular. The bun however wouldn’t have been their first pick but they said they wouldn’t mind eating it if they had to. I was a delicious way to end our day. That and a few episodes of Walking Dead.  That show.. Woah.

The only thing I hate about having Tuesday’s off is when I come back to work my work week isn’t even half over yet L Oh well, glass half full mentality. I will conquer this week. Done.

I’ll be back later with WIAW shenanigans. Happy hump day J
